About me:
| |||||||
I generally try to be helpful on this wiki, usually by fixing random grammar and spelling mistakes as I encounter them, and reverting vandalism. | |||||||

I object to the erasure of entire articles filled with content, or turning them into redirects, just because a random wikipedian thinks the subject matter is "not notable enough". This is an online encyclopedia, and a lot of people probably put a lot of time and effort into creating these articles. Arbitrary removal of their work for trivial reasons is against the spirit of this website.
I will revert any such ridiculous edits that I come across. The bigger and more complete Wikipedia is, the better — Wikipedia is not limited by size constraints, so any merging intended to shrink the topic can only be harmful to the spread of knowledge. | ||||||
That said, I am a true Wikipedian:

I have violated copyright laws, unknowingly and deliberately, enough times for every government on Earth to have me jailed for a million years... and guess what? I firmly avow that I have done nothing wrong. Knowledge cannot be considered "property", and nobody can criminalize the free spread of knowledge. If it's on the internet, it's an open invitation to share that knowledge, and I personally treat anything online as part of public domain.
I believe all copyright and patent laws are immoral and a waste of time: tools for the rich to prey on the poor, and horde knowledge and power at the upper levels of society. Copyright itself is the enemy, and those who willingly and openly violate it are heroes and freedom fighters. As someone who values my own conscience above whatever written laws say, I have no compunctions about violating any and all copyright laws, anytime it feels morally correct and justifiable to do so. I therefore REJECT the Wikipedia's policy on copyrights, and refuse to comply with any such demands for conformity. Sue me... or just edit my offending contribution, since that'd be easier anyway. |
